Found this on Linux and Life and thought it was funny.

Well, sort of.

Hm.

Cool Nixnine, I am in the Fedora Category... Love your avatar.

From the look of that lot I'm glad I'm not a Linux user. :hehe

Ok, I understand that this has a humoristic purpose. But I will criticize.
First of all I am OpenSource user. The OpenSource is community, so it doesn't make sense to create fights between environments or distributions, or even OpenSource operating systems. You are free to choose to use either, there is nothing to stop you doing so.
I use Kubuntu (KDE) and I love that other distributions and desktop environments are successful.
There is nothing better than each user can choose the distro that you like or best meets your needs.
Slackware was my first distro, thanks Slack!
@Erisian, I want to see you using a GNU/Linux distro. Here we are to help you :mrgreen:

It's not fight, it's poking fun at, and everyone gets his own...

I note that in the picture, the only one who seems to be using a computer for something else than just using the computer is the Ubuntu user.

(also using Kubuntu).

Find me a Fedora that will work on my PC. When this PC conks out, I'll get a new one then I promise I'll make the switch.

Thanks Mo. If I can I'm going totally Fedora. Most of my software is open source anyway so I might as well.

I used Mint so I don't get a category. I somehow find that comforting.

Ok, I hope you make the switch soon. But that does not mean I want your current PC stop working soon :mrgreen:

Debian SID (aptosid). I have a beard, although not very long, nor any glasses or dorky tie.

I like the slackware user surrounded by computers ,i suppose the combined power of all that computers should almost reach of that of a level entry smartphone

That must have been made a while ago.
Gnewsense last issue is dated 2009 with gimp-2.4.

I started with Slack too (3.2) a long time ago.
Then came RedHat,Suse and some more.
Until I discovered Gentoo in December 2003.
Stopped distro hopping after that.

I'm 169 cm tall and weigh 62 kilo's so I definitely don't look like the fatty.
